Ailenah is Irish in Origin.

Ailenah is a modern, embellished given name most plausibly formed by combining Aileen with the fashionable -ah ending and influenced by Elena or Alena. Through Aileen (the Anglicised Irish Eibhlín), it is often connected to the Greek Helena, from helene “torch, sunlight,” yielding the sense “bright” or “shining light.” Some traditions trace Eibhlín to Norman French Aveline (source of Evelyn), so an alternate, less certain path exists, but contemporary bearers typically read Ailenah within the Helen/Elena family.

Usage is contemporary and rare, appearing in recent decades alongside creative spellings and lilting -ah forms. Variants and close relatives include Ailena, Aileenah, Ailina, Aylena, Aileen, Eileen, Elena, Alena, Aleena, and Ilena; nicknames Lena, Lina, and Aili fit naturally. While its spelling recalls the Mapuche name Ailén or Aylén (“joy; clear, transparent”), that is a separate origin. Overall meaning: “shining light; bright one.”
